WINDING-MACHINE Specification of Letters Patent;

Patented July 28, 1908.

Application filed July 26, 1907. Serial No. 385,762.

To all whom it may concern.

- i Be it known that we, JOHN H. LENDI and ALBERT H. SIMMONS, citizens of the United States of America, and residents of Chicago, county ofCook, and State ofIllinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Winding-Machines, of which the following is a s ecification.

ur invention pertains to winding machines for electro-ma nets and for the production of helixes of %ber, thread or wire.

Our object is to provide an automatic winding machine which will wind strand material, such as wire, upon a core, which will automatically dispose the strand materialin layers as wound upon the core, and which will automatically insert sheet material into the helixwhile it is being wound.

Our invention provides a winding spindle, a reciprocating guide, and a neumatic paper carrier, the parts being provided with proper direct and auxiliary details to secure their cooperation to the ends desired.

Our invention is illustrated inthe accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 shows a plan of the complete device; Fig. 2 shows an elevation; Fig. 3 shows an end elevation with the motor 6 of Fig. 1 removed; Fig. 4 shows a section of the neumatic paper carrier of Fig. .1 on the line A, in the osition shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 5 shows a simi ar section with the ap aratus in an alternative position; Fig. 6 llustrates 'the guide wheel mechanism and is a sectional view of a portion of the apparatus taken on line BB of Fig. 1; Fig. 7 illustrates details of controlling cams and is a sectional view of a ortion of the apparatus taken on the line (i 41 of Fig. 2; Fig. 8 shows an elevation of spool holding device, andFig. 9 shows a section thereof.

In Fig. 1, 1 is a base upon which the various vention are mounted. 2 is a casting mounted u on the base 1 and carryingthewinding spindle 3, which is j ournaled in the casting 2 and carries at one end a spool-receiving device 4 and at the other end the pinion 5. (See Fig. 3.) The motor 6 is geared to the winding spindle 3, through the pinion 5 on the shaft of the motor 6 which meshes into pinion 5 on s indle 3.

Detail of the spool-holding device 4 is shown in Figs. 8 and 9. It is bored at 4 to engage a center stud of the spindle 3. It is arts of the complete machine of our in provided with a cavity at 4" to receive an eccentric pin u on the head of the spindle 3. It has threaded stud 4 to receive and hold the core of the magnet spool and in its loose collar 4 are out two notches at 4 to provide clearance 'for a pair of terminal clips. The object of this detail is to provide for holdin and winding spools having a pair of termina clips for the conductor mounted diametrically opposite each other upon one of the spool heads.

Worm 7 carried upon worm shaft 7 is driven by gear 7. Intermediate gear 88 is a double cog wheel the larger of which engages pinion 5, and the smaller of which engages gear 7. By changin the intermediate gear 8-8, any desire relation of thespeed of spindle 3 to the speed of worm gear 7 may be obtained.

Frame 9 is mounted upon casting 2 and in the frame 9 the reciprocating bar 10 is adapted to slide. by the worm wheel 13 and carries the heart cam 14 The heart cam 14 engages two roller studs 1010 u on the reciprocating slide 10, and thereby e ects the reciprocation of that slide in cooperation with therrevolution of the winding spindle 3. The roller stud 10 is adjustable upon the slide 10, permitting the lnterchanging of heart cams to vary the extent of the reciprocatin motion ofthe slide '10. The slide" 10 is s otted as required to clear the cam shaft 12.

The guide wheel 15 is carried by the guide wheel arm 16 which is pivoted upon guide wheel block 17 which is locked to the reciproeating slide 10 by the screw 17. A tail piece 18 is provided, consisting of a casting carrying the spring pressed shaft 19, terminating in a cup at 19 which centers and holds one end of the spool upon which the wire or strand is to be wound. A pin 19" in the shaft 19 rests within the slot of a fixed sleeve 20, and the shaft 19 may be withheld in a retracted position by turning it so that the transverse pin 19 will engage the end of the fixed sleeve 20. A spool 21 is shown in the device in position for winding and a wire 22 is' shown threaded over the guide wheel. In operation, the revolution of spindle 3, and consequent revolution of spool 21, will draw the wire 22 and wind it upon the core of the spool; at the same time the gears and worm will revolve the heart cam 14, thus moving the reciprocating slide 10 and causing the guide wheel to guide the wire into a uniform ayer upon the core as the revolution of the core draws the wire forward. The ratio of cog wheels and the design of the heart cam shall be such that the rate of travel of slide 10 shall be approximately e ual to the diameter of the wire 22 for eac revolution of the spool 21, and the extent of travel of the slide 10 shall be approximately equal to the distance between spool heads, minus the thickness 01 the guide wheel 15. We have described thus far a complete winding device for disposing wire in layers upon a spool. An auxiliary idler guide wheel 23 is journaled loosely upon a fixed shaft 23, and the further auxiliary idler guide wheel 24 is journaled in the guide wheel arm 16. The path of the wire 22 may be traced in Fig. 3, passing around guide wheels 23, 24 and 15 in the order mentioned.

The detail of guide wheel 15 and guide wheel arm 16 is shown in Fig. 6. In this figure, which is taken on the line BB Fig. 1, and looking in the direction of the arrow adjacent thereto, the slide bar 10 is shown in section and the guide wheel block 17 in elevation. The guide Wheel arm 16 is mounted rigidly upon its pivot shaft 16, and the cam 16" also is mounted rigidly upon the shaft 16', the guide wheel arm 16 and the cam 16" thus being ri id with each other. The cam 25 with knur 26 is mounted upon the guide wheel block 17 to cooperate with the cam 16" as a look upon the guide wheel arm 16. Cam 25 is pressed by: spring 25. When guide wheel arm 16 is elevated by the increasing thickness of wire under wheel 15 upon spool 21, the locking cam 25 moves into engagement with 16 in its more elevated position and prevents the return of the arm 16. As guide wheel 15 is driven upward by any slight irregularity of the winding upon the spool 21, it will not return on account of the interference between the cams 16 and 25. Hence in the average or normal running condition of the guide wheel 15, it is just out of continuous contact with the helix being wound; thus the layer of whe is prevented from injury by pressure of uide wheel 15, which is the object for which the cams 16 and 25 are provided. In inserting a new empty spool, guide wheel 15 is allowed to drop upon the core by raising cam 25 by means of knurl 26.

It may be noted that the travel of the guide wheel-15 is less than the distance between s 001 heads by a distance equivalent to the tiickness of the guide wheel 15, and that consequently the layer of wire probably will not coverthe core throughout the entire distance between spool heads, although the design of the heart cam 14 may be such as to cause the guide wheel 15 to lag at each end of its travel and thereby furnish additional turns for'fiiiing the winding space completely.

If the winding space he not completely filled longitudinally by each layer, then the falling of turns of wire from their proper layers may be prevented by the introduction of sheet material, such as paper, between the layers, the

from a feed table, carrying the sheet thus lifted to a position adjacent to the coil being wound, and, at the proper instant inserting the sheet into the coil without interrupting the process of winding. The device is shown in section in Figs. 4 and 5, in its alternative positions of picking up a sheet of paperand of feeding the paper into the coil being wound. Auxiliary to the device of Figs. 4 and 5 are three sources of power, controlled or provided by three cams upon the cam shaft 12. The first sourceof power may be recited as air suction or vacuum supply whereby the sheet of paper is lifted; the second source of power may be recited as an intermittent rotary motion whereby the paper thus taken charge of is lifted into feeding position in readiness to be fed into the coil being wound; the third source of power may be recited as air pressure, and its function is to blow the sheet of paper into the coil. Three cams upon the cam shaft 12 furnish or control the respective sources of power recited.

Referring first to Fig. 4, upon the base 1 is mounted the body casting 30, bearing the parts of the aper feeding device. The table 31, having t 1e adjustable gage 32, holds the paper 33, of which two sheets are shown in position to be picked up by the suction arm. The carrier arm is built up of a cross casting 34, two parallel rods 35, 35', terminating respectively in blocks 41, 41, the blocks being connected for rigidity by the cross bar 42, and between the blocks 41, 41 is supported the cross tube or picking tube 36, the parts being rigidly united, and the part 34 being sleeved loosely upon the shaft 37. Upon the shaft 37 is rigidly keyed the crank arm 38,

perforated to clear the body of the screw 39 and maintains a condition of tension bei tween the parts 34 and 38, as shown. The object of this adjustable and yielding connection between the crank arm 38 and the carrier arm is to provide for the varying height of sheet material upon the table 31,

the screw being adjusted to permit the carrier arm to hold the sheet in proper position for feeding, as shown in Fig. 5, the full travel spring 40 yielding to permit the full travel of the crank arm 38 when the suction or picker arm is stopped by engagement with the table or is stopped short of its full travel by reason of a considerable thickness of sheet material upon the table 31, the pressure of the pic'king tube upon the sheet material at such time being only that due to the tension of the spring 40. The picking tube 36 is provided with a nozzle 36 for the attachment of the flexible air conductor 43.

The blower tube is installed upon an extension to the suction arm. The sleeves 44, 44 slide upon the rods 35, 35. The pair of extension arms 45, 45 are rigidly attached to the sleeves 44, 44 respectively and are connected at their outer end rigidly by the tube 46 which is the blower .tube of the paper feeding device. Each of the arms 45, 45 has an extension with a transverse stud 48, 48 respectively, the studs traveling within the eccentric slots 49, 49 respectively. The object accomplished is to extend the blower tube 46 beyond the guide 32 to permit the picking tube 36 to make contact with the pile of paper on the feed table, when the device is in the osition shown in Fig. 4, and to retract the b ower tube 46 to a position behind the end of the sheet of aper 33 held by the picking tube when the evice is in the position shown in Fig. 5. The picking tube 36 is perforated with a row of holes along that tangent line which rests in contact with the paper when the device is in the position shown in Fig. 4. The blower tube 46 is provided with a row of holes ap roximately on the radial line passing toward the axis of the s 001 being wound when the paper feeding evice is in the positionshown in Fig. 5. The member 47 is pivoted loosely at its ends and rests in its central portion upon the top of the supply of paper, acting as a paper weight to hold the sheets in place, and acting also as a drag ing weight, flexing the sheet of paper picked up by the icking tube 36 to insure the separationof t e top sheet from the next underlying sheet.

Before studying the means for controlling the divers sources of power as required by the device of Fig. 4, the operation of the device may be understood by a study of Figs. 4 and 5. The device in the position shown in Fig. 4 may be considered in its normal osition of rest. Tube 43 by proper contro means is now' connected to a vacuum, and picking tube 36 is exhausted, the top sheet of the supply of paper being then held against the picking tube 36 by external air pressure.

y proper control, shaft 37 now is revolved of t e lunger rod 57.

to bring the device into the position shown in Fig. 5, the sheet of paper being carried into its second position 33 by thevacuum picking tube 36, and the blower tube 46 passing into position behind the leading edge of the sheet of paper. Immediately preceding the instant at which the paper should start into the coil being wound, air pressure is placed upon the blower tube 46 and air jets from the row of holes in that tube blow the leading edge of the sheet of paper into contact with the revolving core or coil being wound, as shown dotted at 33"; the paper still being held by the outward air pressure upon it at its contact with the suctlon tube 36. At the exact instant when the leading edge of the sheet of paper should enter thecoil being wound, proper control means breaks down the vacuum of the tube 36, thus releasing the paper, and the paper is drawn around the coil being wound by reason of the friction of its leadin edge, the entire sheet of paper being held c osely to the core or coil by pressure of the airbrush from the blower tube 46. The conductor or strand 22 being wound holds the pa er after the first turn, and the air pressure t en may be cutoff from the tube 46 and the shaft 37 is revolved in reverse direction to return the entire apparatus to the osition shown in Fig. 4.

We now siiall pass to the controlling device whereby the described operation of the paper feeding device is secured. Referring to Fig. 2, the cam shaft 12 bears the three cams 50, 51, 52. These are also shown in Fig. 7. Referring to Figs. 1 and 3, the shaft 37 carries the pinion 53 which is meshed by the are 54 which carries a wrist pin 55, travelin in a vertical slot in the cross block 56 The lunger rod 57 is slida 1y mounted within t e bushing 58 and a compression spring 57, surrounding the rod 57 and pressing against the collar 58, forces the lunger rod 57 against the cam 50, a roller 59 eing provided at the point of contact. When the cam forces the plunger rod 57 away from the cam shaft 12, the are 54 is rotated clock-wise, as viewed in Fig. 3, and the inion 53 and shaft 37 are rotated counterc 0ckwise, as viewed in Figs. 3, 4, 5, and the paper feeding devices assumes the position shown in Fi 4. Conversely, when the cam 50 permits t eplunger rod 57 to approach the cam shaft 12, the spring 57 operates to move the plunger rod, and thus through the arc and'pinion operates to cause the paper feeding device to assume the position shown in Fig. 5.

The cam 51 controls the connection between the picking tube 36 and a vacuum reservoir by operating the valve 60. The valve 60 is operated by the plunger 61 which is pressed against the cam 51 by the coiled sprmg 62. When the plunger 61 is pressed away from the cam shaft 12, the valve 60 is operated to connect the flexible tube 43 and picking tube 36 to the vacuum supply; when the plunger 61 is permitted to approach the cam shaft 12, the flexible tube 43 and picking tube 36 are connected through the valve 60 to the open air, thus breaking down any vacuum previously established in the picking tube 36. The cam 52 controls the connection between the blower tube 46 and the compressed air tank by operating the valve 63. The valve 63 is operated by the plunger 64 which is pressed against the cam 52 by the coiled spring 65. When the plunger 64 is pressed away from the cam shaft 12, the valve 63 is operated to disconnect the flexible tube 64 and blower tube 46 from the air pressure tank; when the plunger 64 is ermitted to approach the camshaft 12, the flexible tube 64 and blower tube 46 are connected through the valve 63 to the compressed air supply. The'three cams 50, 51, 52 are adjustable upon the shaft 12 and are adjusted to bring about the pro er timing of the various operations contro le in the paper feeding device to efiect the result desired.

We do not wish to limit our invention in all respects to the exact details herein shown and described, as we understand that many modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of our invention.
